I have never taken one (knowingly!) but I wouldn't really have a problem with doing one - I don't have anything to hide. I would have a problem if someone tried to illegally force me to (ie they didn't have any grounds).

While I do have a problem with drug testing, I am considering a couple different jobs that would require them.

As a related comment following up a comment on a previous survey, I passed my commercial pilot checkride yesterday.

No, I haven't, but I'd be angry if anyone asked me to unless they had a really good reason and I had time to prepare.

Unfortunately, only single-engine land so far. If I can get the single-engine sea checkride in before ice-up, then I'll think about applying for jobs next spring. Who am I kidding, either way I'll think all winter long about applying for jobs.

Hey Congrads! So which plane are you going to buy next with that license?

Yes, and I cheated, and I passed, and it was against my personal beliefs.
What's that going down the drain? Oh, right, my civil liberties.

Ha! The new license doesn't let me fly any plane I couldn't fly before. It just lets me get paid for it.

Don't know. I'll read the classified ads and ask advice from a former flight instructor who worked up there for a while.

I have not applied for certain jobs because a drug test was required. Not sure that I would always make that choice, but that is how I feel to date.

Go. Away.
Do have any understanding of anything? Do you not realize that your cousin fudgeed up a perfectly good Survey Central experience for you?

In the grand scheme of things, Survey Central is not important, at least to a lot of people (it really is to me), so, you should just cut your losses and go away. The whole situation surrounding you is so bad, and, I know that you're young, but, the rest of us aren't, and, well, it's just a bad thing. Please, just... find another place to go..

And I would really give your cousin- the one who preyed on our emotions, and really left a lot of feeling betrayed, used, and generally taken advantage of- another look.

"Aaron" is not a good person. Please go away. You are nothing more than a stinging reminder that we are nice people who can be taken in by young people with problems.

They don't really do that in Canada as far as I know. The only drug testing that I'm aware of is for people on probation in the Criminal Justice System and in sports. I've never heard of it being used in the workplace and such, although I understand that this practice is quite common in some of the less "enlightened" nations.  * wink *

I've never been asked to take a drug test for work.

I don't think it's right that drug tests are given, but I wouldn't quit my job over being asked to take one.

I wouldn't be worried about the outcome so long as I hadn't eaten any poppy seed bagels that day...

I think you actually have to worry about poppy seed bagels for the past month.

You have to eat pounds of poppy seeds (not the bagels, just the seeds) for any discernable effect.
I've been doing my research!
...'cause I have to take a drug test...

No, fortunately not. And I wouldn't have any problems with that now. It's been over one year since I last, ahmm, enjoyed any illegal substances. Sigh.

Are you taking a test? I will help you then. Otherwise, I will not give work.

I've applied for a job that'll require a test and may well apply for others in the spring. I haven't heard anything back yet on the job application and it's been over a month since the cough syrup so I'm not really worried about it. I was just curious in case you happened to know from your research.

I had to take one at my previous job. They were doing random testing and I passed with flying colors!! (Although, I was a little perturbed that they had chosen me because I knew I would pass when they could have chosen some other scumbag to take it and fail and then maybe the work place would have been a little better to work in.)

Twice in the past year. They recently implemented a new policy for drug testing at work which states that if you are injured (an injury requiring medical attention) then you have to take a drug test. I'm accident prone but drug free. I was a little irritated by the process though. The drug test was a first priority at the hospital. "Come in...have a seat....bleed here...fill out these papers...pee in a cup..."
